Taking over a WIP

About six years ago, my daughter decided she wanted to make a quilt for her brother and sister-in-law.  My daughter, my daughter-in-law, and I went to one of the local quilt shops to look at  fabric.  My daughter-in-law chose the fabric.  I bought the fabric.  My daughter designed the quilt on the computer in Word, if I remember correctly.  She printed the design that looks like colored graph paper...


and pieced it into four quarters.  Then she took it to NY, went to college and grad school, got a job, and got married.


During the holidays this year, the WIP traveled back to Ohio from NY.  I was presented with the four quarters, the binding, the backing, and the thread, and was asked to finish the quilt.  My daughter now lives in a teeny Manhattan apartment and completing the quilt would really be a challenge.


I agreed to finish the quilt.  It's in line now with my other WIP's.  It's going to be a quilty year!

:o)

What a sweet thought from your daughter. Looks like she made really good progress then got stalled. It happens. How nice you can get it finished. Love the graph paper graphic.
